Comments:
As an employee benefit plan, this plan is far too rich with many employees costing more than 85% of pay.
Employee cost is 6.5% of pay for CBP, 9.5% for both plans.
Employee cost is 8% of pay for both plans.

*Note that even poorly graded plans may be appropriate in certain situations, such as for lower benefit levels, or if the employee total compensation package is negotiable.
